Hi

I am trying to debug a C++ program in GDB on linux.
I want to dump out the content of the "this" object,
Here is what I get:
(gdb) print *this
$2 = {path = <incomplete type>}

My question is why I don't see the content of 'path'?
It said
'<incomplete type>'.

In the code, path is:
ostringstream path;

When I try to do this: at GDB prompt 'print
this->path.str()' , I get
this error:

(gdb) print this->path.str()
Couldn't find method ostringstream::str
